Do you have a favourite Africa Vacations destination yet?

Vacations in Africa that remind you of:

• Hearing the roar of lions on the veld (from a safe distance, of course!)
• Watching traditional Zulu Dancing in the Valley of a Thousand Hills, in Kwazulu-Natal
• Getting caught up in the pounding rhythms of African drumbeats
• Standing at the Cape of Good Hope, the south-westernmost point of the African continent, gazing south towards Antarctica
• Having a choice between beaches on the warm Indian Ocean or cold Atlantic coasts, within a short drive of each other - then testing the waters of both oceans (just because you could!)
• ...and many more wonderful memories of this intriguing African continent, with its diverse tribes and cultures.

These are just some of the personal experiences and fond memories that keep on drawing us back to Africa for more vacations!

Now we would like to help you find your own favourite Africa vacation places too. Why? This saying explains it best for us:

We are not travel agents & we don't even live in Africa right now, but we are South Africans. We live in Canada, but always look forward to vacationing in Africa.

We just want to share with you some of the great places Africa has to offer, especially for people with a more adventurous spirit, looking for a "different" vacation. We'll also tell you about the african wildlife (many are already endangered species), that you won't find in many tourist guides.
